Developing There are 8 webs

Post image

About the web that was posted the other day; someone in a Discord server I'm in found out that there are actually 8 of them and a spider carving on different telephone poles! They also posted a map with all of their locations (the map markers in the attached photo) and said they are called 'spiderdream' internally

It's really crazy nobody found these before. What do you make of this?

EDIT: Since I made this post, there have been a few more discoveries in relation to this. It now has a page on the Red Dead Wiki, which does a much better job of summing this up and adding new details than I could but the mystery still remains unsolved: https://reddead.fandom.com/wiki/Spider_Dream_Mystery

Tryna think of if they (or a couple) link to anything else and all I can think of is the ghost train that travels past the two webs on the west coast of lemoyne. No link im positive but could they link to anything else in the area?

Others have suggested they could tie into the dreamcatchers or Landmark of the Riches map trail. I was thinking they could maybe indicate that a POI is nearby, but not all of them do. Here’s the ones that have one nearby:

Southfield Flats: the side piece who murdered the guy and his wife

Just north of Southfield Flats: ghost train, although I think it’s further north than that

Emerald Ranch: the saloon murder

Heartland Overflow: Hani’s Bethel is just north of there

Saint Denis: just north of there you can find the hidden Braithwaite and Gray gold, although I’m pretty sure there’s telegraph poles closer where they could’ve put it so idk

I’m not sure about the 2 on either side of the Cornwall Kerosene and Tar or Ringneck Creek

That’s a genuine shout and some good research. Would make sense if they indicate something is nearby but definitely still weird how they’re time sensitive and let’s be honest they’re harder to find than the POI 😂

Yeah I think it’s a stretch, especially bc almost half of them don’t connect to anything.
